Looks like you have to do the head job again
test with a compression test
it could be an air lock in the cooling system
when you did the head gasket did you follow the correct procedure
clean the block face with emery paper '
cleaned out the stud threads in the block with a thread tap
cleaned the stud threads with a wire brush
cleaned out the stud holes with compressed air
had the head machined flat
ensured that all the water holes and oil holes lined up in both the block and the head
fitted the head with out moving it around on the gasket
used never seize on the stud threads
tensioned the head bolts in sequence and in stages at every 15 ft/lbs or 10 degrees as per the workshop manual
if you missed any of the steps in the procedure , then the gasket will not be sealed properly and the correct tension will not be applied
You have an air pocket in the engine block. Over fill the radiator overflow tank when the engine is cold. Run the engine until the engine thermostat opens then shut off the engine. Watch the level in the overflow tank to see if the engine draws coolant back into the engine. If it does, repeat the above steps a few times until the water level no longer draws coolant in when the engine is turned off. If this cannot be accomplished then the Thermostat is stuck closed or the bypass hose is plugged up. Pressure test the radiator cap too. It may not be releasing pressure correctly.

The problem with these jeeps is that the older they get the more clogged the radiator geats.
The radiator in the Cherokees are only a single row of tubes.
You can try to flush out the radiator, but replacing it with a heavy duty type is probably a better option.
Your car is not getting enough flow to cool down the engine.
Also you want to check that the electric fan is coming on. There is a coolant sensor in the radiator.

You get yourself a service manual
long before you start that type of job
Could be too much coolant in the system. Does it run dry on you if you run it for too long? There could also be trapped air in your cooling system which will work itself out with time.
